“We need to use modern technologies. If a place lacks enough equipment and is not safe, we should stop the activities of the industrial unit,” Rouhani said, talking to family members of the victims of the deadly incident in northern Iranian province.
The government will try its best to prevent such incidents, the President added.
Rouhani said that when the loved ones are lost, nothing can fill their empty place.
“Material loss is reparable, but human loss is irreparable,” he said.
